join military? Civilian career is going no where! Would like to provide children with financial stability.
 
No. You'll get raped. If you refuse the sexual advances of men, they will say you are a lesbian and discharge you. That's what happens often.
 
the cut off age is actually 42. financial stability you will get, but actually getting to stay in the states with your kids is another. deployments suck.
 
Look at it this way, You'll be 59 before you can retire in the military.. Do you really think you're going to handle twenty years of it? You're going to have 19 and 20 year olds in charge of you, even your higher ups (Staff NCOs, Officers..) will be younger than you. You will not be treated special because you are older.. You will be expected to do the shit jobs that 18 year old privates straight out of high school have to do. Granted..

The Army as a whole is "Older" than the Marine Corps (Where I was) but it will still be very similar... Hell we had 26 year olds in boot camp with us and they where older than most of our Drill Instructors... lol
 
Yeah, but your only choice is Army enlisted. You've bypassed all the other services' maximum ages for enlisted and you won't get to Army Officer Candidate School before your 40th birthday, which is the maximum for that program.
